Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method of manufacturing a formed plastics component at least a part of which comprises foamed plastics material and also to a rigid plastics extrusion produced by the method.
  • a method of manufacturing a formed, foamed plastics material according to which a mixture a major part of which comprises recycled polyvinylchloride together with required additive and a blowing agent is foam extruded through a die and calibrating device under such conditions as to produce a component which is machinable and has a density of the same order as timber, more especially a medium density e.g. in the range 0.4 to 1.0.
  • a rigid plastics component at least a part of which consists of foamed plastics extrusion at least a major part of which comprises recycled polyvinylchloride together with required additive, produced by foam extrusion using a blowing agent through a die and calibrating means under such conditions as to produce a component which is machinable and has a density of the same order as timber.
  • the rigid component wholly comprises formed foamed recycled polyvinylchloride extruded through the die and calibrating device under such conditions as to produce a rigid fo ⁇ ned extrusion which is machinable and has a density of the same order as timber.
  • the recycled polyvinylchloride is coextruded with a skin of virgin polyvinylchloride to produce a composite component which is machinable and has a mean density of the same order as timber.
  • the amount of virgin polyvinylchloride used in the coextrusion is preferably not more than about 10 percent by weight of the amount of recycled polyvinylchloride.
  • the foamed extruded component or composite part thereof most preferably comprises not less than 90 percent recycled polyvinylchloride.
  • the present invention aims, in particular, to provide a foamed plastics extrusion useful as a structural member in the manufacture of window and door frames.
  • the density of the extruded component, or at least the foamed part thereof preferably lies lying between 0.7 and 0.9, conveniently about 0.85.
  • Coextruding a skin of virgin polyvinylchloride adds weatherability.
  • PVC window and door frames it will be appreciated that, although it is common practice for manufacturers of polyvinylchloride (PVC) window and door frames to recycle waste PVC material from the manufacture of windows and doors, in this case the waste material is not foam extruded. Waste from the manufacture of PVC window and door frames consists of a relatively high molecular weight polymer, not preferable for foam extrusion.
  • a preferred recycled polyvinylchloride (PVC) compound is a low molecular weight polymer. Such a polymer may be obtained from recycled PVC packaging such as PVC bottles, in powdered or chip form, preferably the former.
  • Recycled material from PVC packaging is material which was originally formulated for injection moulding or blow moulding, and it would normally be considered that such material was unsuitable for extrusion moulding.
  • a preferred extrusion melt for the foamed component or composite part thereof comprises at least 95 percent recycled PVC.
  • additives such as U7V stabilisers, impact modifiers and heat stabilisers are not added, as these are present in the recycled PVC, but about 1 percent by weight blowing agent is added to the melt, and if desired colouring pigment, typically about 1.0 to 2.0 percent by weight, is also added. If the resulting component will not be exposed to weathering, or if it is coextruded with a virgin PVC skin for weathering protection, the addition of pigment to the melt for the foam extrusion may not be necessary.
  • a highly preferred foam extrusion step employs the Celuka process. This process is preferably carried out using an endothermic blowing agent. This blowing agent takes in heat present due to shearing which occurs in the extrusion step. In this way a rigid, fully machinable extrusion can be obtained with a density in the range 0.7 to 0.9.
  • the material can also have an acceptable level of fire resistance and be hot plate weldable.
  • the endothermic blowing agent is supported by a carrier which is incompatible with the PVC in the melt. This reduces the tendency of die melt to stick to the surface of the hot die, burn and in turn build up a deposit on the surface, which is detrimental to the product, especially in view of relatively low thermal stability of the recycled PVC.
  • an endothermic blowing agent is an important feature of the invention. Especially in conjunction with its supporting carrier incompatible with the low molecular weight recycled PVC in the melt, the whole foam extrusion process can be carried out with an unusually low temperature profile, which results in a structural component. Thus, the resulting extrusion, with or without a coextruded skin of virgin PVC, can then be used as a timber substitute in the manufacture of such items as window frames, door frames, fascia boards, and for other building material uses.
  • the present invention provides the aforesaid rigid, formed extrusion which is machinable at relatively low cost. Normally, a high density foamed extrusion of PVC would be sufficiently expensive to produce that it would not be a marketable product. However, by virtue of the use of recycled PVC, in conjunction with the realisation that no additives other than a small amount of blowing agent require to be added to the melt, the present invention provides an extrusion which is highly cost effective.
  • the extruded component can be produced with a hollow core.
  • This can be achieved by provision of a central mandrel in the extrusion die, which mandrel has air blown through it to exert outward pressure on the extrusion melt in order to counteract the inward foaming resulting from the Celuka process.
  • a rod of metal e.g. aluminium, may be inserted through the hollow core for reinforcement purposes, if the conditions of use demand a component of exceptionally high rigidity.
  • a still further feature of the invention concerns the method of and apparatus for production of the rigid, formed extruded component.
  • the components required to produce the foamed extrusion, or at least the foamed part thereof are dosed into a feed hopper directly feeding the entry port of a rotating screw extruder which extrudes the extrusion melt through a die.
  • Supplementary dosers are not required, as generally the only components to be dosed are the recycled PVC and the blowing agent.
  • the virgin PVC is not foamed, and so a blowing agent is not added to it. It will be appreciated that, in the case of a coextrusion, any colouring pigment requires to be added only to the virgin PVC melt, along with very small amounts of additives such as impact modifiers and light stabilisers.
  • An extrusion mixture is prepared comprising approximately 97 percent recycled PVC in the form of a ground, low molecular polymer derived from PVC packaging such as PVC bottles for example.
  • the mixture also includes about 1.3 percent endothermic blowing agent. All the ingredients are added to a hopper/mixer directly feeding an extrusion die.
  • the mixture is then extruded through a rotating screw, extruder barrel and through the die, under controlled temperature conditions.
  • the die has an annular extrusion aperture, thereby to allow sizing to take place in an immediately downstream calibrating means, where inward foaming by the Celuka process takes place under controlled cooling conditions.
  • the extent to which foaming takes place is limited by the use of an endothermic blowing agent, which takes in heat generated by shearing of the extrusion melt in the extruder barrel.
  • the above-described method thereby results in a formed rigid extrusion which can be used as a timber substitute, being fully machinable and capable of receiving and holding screws and nails.
  • the extrusion also has a density of approximately 0.85, as compared with a typical density of about 0.55 for timbers conventionally used in the production of window and door frames.
  • the recycled PVC is coextruded by conventional techniques for coextrusion, with a skin of virgin PVC.
  • a mean density in the range 0.7 to 0.9 is obtainable, providing a rigid, machinable product which can be used, for example, in door frames and fascia boards.
  • the accompanying drawing shows one embodiment of a structural member for a sash window frame produced as a coextrusion in accordance with the invention.
  • the dash-dot line around the periphery of the component shows the part of the periphery where a skin of virgin PVC is provided.
  • the recess where the skin is not provided receives the glazing unit.
